Can I insert a switch into another switch cycle in C?
Example:
switch(variable1)
{
case variable1==1:
switch(variable2)
{
case variable2==2:
do this;
default:
do another thing;
}
default:
do that;
}Would switch(variable2) work?

Yes, you can put switchs inside switchs.
But more important, why do you use case variable# == #: when you are comparing the expression variable# == # to the value of variable# instead of just case #:
P.S.
Also, nitpicking, a switch is not a cycle, it's a flow control statement. :p.

Thank you! :yes:

Because our programming professor never told us how to use switches, and they are the most effective way to do a part of my programming homework.
I searched on the internet how to use them, and looks like I misunderstood something :nervous:

Ops. :nervous:

Kinda old but still referenced at times.... http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/chapter3/flow_control.html

The only unusual thing about switches is that you have to use {} if you initialize variables. Otherwise they're just like any other conditional statement.
